I enjoyed and recommend "Enola Holmes" on Netflix.

Millie Bobby Brown from Stranger Things plays Enola, the younger sister of Sherlock and Mycroft (who are much older). She's been raised by her mother, learning to fight, decode, observe, and be independent. One day her mother leaves, so the brothers come home to investigate. Mycroft wants Enola to go to a finishing school, which she vehemently does not want to do, so she runs away to try and find her mother. Along the way she encounters another teenage runaway, a boy who needs her help.

It's just a lot of fun, with good acting, great scenery, and a kick-ass heroine. I appreciate that they cast people of color in supporting roles and talked about politics.

She doesn't just play Enola, she was co-producer with her older sister, something which impressed me a lot more. (It probably contributes to both our teen leads being played by actual teens.)
